Biden meets with China's President Xi
- Biden’s high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping is taking place at a historic estate south of San Francisco.
-
- It's the first time in a year the two leaders are meeting face-to-face and it's Xi's first time in the US in six years.
-
- The meeting sets up a test of whether Xi and Biden can slow a downward spiral in relations at a moment of heavy global turbulence. The fact that the meeting is happening at all is viewed by White House aides as a positive sign after months of friction.
-
- The list of issues expected to arise in the talks includes restoring military-to-military communication between the two countries, the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine, climate change as well as countering narcotics trafficking.
